I think that old versions of Calibre did do conversion of LRF. I am not sure there ever was a tool to de-DRM LRX. It was a long time ago since I have last seen LRX "in the wild" ... I used to own the legendary Sony PRS-500.
Thanks. I can convert lrf but the drm'd lrx is a problem. I have several on my Sony prs 505 which I downloaded from Sony years ago when they dealt in ereaders. Unfortunately, I've been spoiled by the frontlight on my paperwhite (and have poorer house-lighting than I had at my old house) so want to put them onto the Paperwhite. This can't be a unique situation.

I realise drm stripping isn't discussed here, but I can't see any way of asking Alf, and lrx isn't mentioned.
